FTSE Environmental Technology Index Series

One of the latest areas in which FTSE has been developing its capabilities is environmental technology, helping to promote much-needed investment within this space. This index series comprises companies globally whose core business is in the development and deployment of environmental technologies, such as alternative energy, water treatment, pollution control and waste management.

FTSE Group was also the first global index company to sign the UNEP FI "Principles for Responsible Investment", in 2006, an initiative launched by Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary General. This underlines the company's commitment to promoting responsible investment and providing tools for investors in this area.
